R.I.P. Robin Williams





Actor-comedian Robin Williams was found dead on Monday at his home in Northern California from an apparent suicide, the Marin County Sheriff's Office said. He was 63.

The sheriff's coroner's division said it suspects the death was a suicide due to asphyxia, but said the cause of death is still under investigation.

Williams shot to fame through his stand-up comedy and first starring role in the Happy Days spin-off, Mork & Mindy.

He went on to a successful film career, winning the best supporting actor Oscar for Good Will Hunting in 1997. It was his fourth nomination, following Good Morning, Vietnam, The Fisher King, and Dead Poet's Society.

Most recently, he starred in the CBS comedy The Crazy Ones.

Williams, who has struggled with addiction in the past, entered a Minnesota rehabilitation centre to help him maintain sobriety.

His representatives at the time said Williams was not using drugs or alcohol but had gone to the centre to "fine-tune and focus" his sobriety after working a longer-than-usual schedule.


:(
 
His stand-up routines were brilliantly funny.

We watched Disney's Aladdin in his honor this evening. It brought tears to my eyes. Seems the funniest people are often the most damaged. Very very sad.
 
QJ, of course, is idiotic. Ugh.

Utterly & completely. I had a moment of weakness and sunk to QJ's level. I will say though, that after a rough week, it's just what I needed. Either that or a good whipping. LOL
 
*tucks Saucy's boobs back into her bra* There ya go, lovely. I've got ya back... or ... your boobs.

Whoa! WHOA!! WHOA!!! If there is any boobie wrangling to be done, you has to call in the professionals! Just so happens I be just the professionals you be looking for! :devil:;)


Generally, I am not a stickler about such things, but I believe you misspelled "cock-blocker".

You, good sir, are a genius! :D:D


Either that or a good whipping. LOL

Whoa! WHOA!! WHOA!!! . . . :devil::D
 
As much as his family can ask for (and frankly deserve) privacy, it's going to be dissected for days on TV and social media, all the "celebrities" Tweeting about how sad they are, what a comedic genius he was, cameras are going to be camped outside his house and the homes of his friends.

It's not unexpected, because that's become the status quo now, sickening as it is.

This all boils down to the fact that a man with a mental illness and addiction issues felt so trapped and powerless that he only saw one way out, despite likely knowing what it would do to his wife, children and friends. He may have been in so much pain and exhaustion trying to put one foot in front of the other, without letting anyone see what was going on inside, that this was the only way he could find peace.

So let's all do something different - let's honour his family's request and give them the peace, privacy and space that any family mourning a death should be afforded.

Vale, Mr Williams, thank you and peace be your journey.
 
NM, QJ gotcha - you posted on that thread

At least on the other one we get our very own personalised abusive comments

I don't think it's "sickening" that people (celebrities included) express their shock, grief an admiration for a man who touched there hearts in some way. I think it's quite beautiful, and his family would find comfort in knowing that their husband and father made an impact on so many lives and will continue to do so long after his passing.


I meant "sickening" that there are cameras hovering over his house and his family isn't going to be given space to grieve. I think the tributes are beautiful, and a testament to how much he was admired and respected.
 
I don't know. One would keep "accidentally on purpose" dropping its towel and fussing about grey matter and credentials, while the other flogged itself watching BDSM porn and making up statistics, screaming "BDSM is stupid" at the top of its lungs.

I suppose it would be along the lines of performance art. I wouldn't pay to watch it, but I'm sure someone might.

We could always encourage a Thunderdome sort of arrangement.
 
You know that feeling you have when you watch someone you love deteriorate bit by bit? And there's not a damn thing you can do to stop it? Yeah, that. It's happening concurrently with two people who mean a lot to me. I absolutely *loathe* this feeling.
 
Must be stunning men with beards and ink day at the shopping centre today. Oh my... *changes knickers repeatedly*

*waits expectantly to jot down where RS has been shopping*

Every time I get up from my desk chair to get coffee, or for more personal reasons, this is what I come back to:

Now if she could only type more than the letter P, and the number 3, I would be more than happy to let her do my job. . .
